My wife and I have lived in the Terrigal area for most of our life. We keenly participate in scuba diving, hiking, cycling and travel.
We previously owned the Salty Rose Beach House Bed and Breakfast at North Avoca. For the eleven years of its operation, guests from all over the world enjoyed their stay.
We are delighted to be able to share our knowledge of the area with all.

We were looking for a last minute "home away from home" break. The place was very clean with plenty of room although we weren't aware it was part of the main house and not a separate building (our fault for not reading the notes properly). Grant & Paula checked in with us prior to arrival and after departure too. The fruit & egg basket was a nice (website hidden) facilities are limited although we ate out/takeaway both nights. A nice 15 minute walk downhill into town/to the beach.

The apartment was perfect for what we were after, nice and homely and the Outside dining area and garden is so relaxing . We loved sitting in the garden and made full use of the outdoor table. Grant and Paula were brilliant hosts. Friendly and available but not intrusive.The location was also excellent only a 5 minute drive from Terrigal beach and 10 form Avoca Beach. I would highly recommend the Drop off for anyone looking to get away to a peaceful ,comfortable setting.
We have already discussed going back again in the near future.

The apartment was exactly as it shows in the pictures, spacious, clean and nicely decorated. The fresh fruit, eggs and milk were a lovely, thoughtful touch which we really appreciated. We loved sitting in the garden and made full use of the outdoor table. Grant and Paula were brilliant hosts. Friendly and available but not intrusive. I would thoroughly recommend this property to my friends and I have no doubt next time we would like a weekend at the beach we will be rebooking.

Located just a few minutes' drive from Terrigal Beach, the place was very neat, clean and incredibly comfortable. It was furnished well and much more spacious than what we expected. The veggie garden was quite helpful in preparing the meals. On top of everything, Grant was an amazing host. He made sure we had everything we needed and made us feel at home. This place is highly recommended!

Grant and Paula were very gracious hosts. The listing description was accurate and the accommodation was clean and spacious. Also the free WiFi was appreciated.
The neighborhood was peaceful and quiet with a beautiful view of the lagoon and ocean from the street in front of the house.
If you like walking and are fairly fit it is an easy walk to Terrigal Beach and the main shopping strip, (just a couple of steep hills). I'm not certain but I think the distance was around 2km.
Our hosts had very generously supplied fresh fruit, milk and eggs and a range of other products for our use such as oil for the BBQ, paper towels, cling wrap and personal use items such as Aeroguard, cotton buds, shower caps and makeup remover pads. These goodies were very appreciated.
Thank you Grant and Paula, we have no hesitation in recommending the Drop Off.

We were made to feel very welcome by our friendly and helpful host and the apartment was as shown - even better than we expected. The neighbourhood was quiet and within easy driving distance of shops, restaurants etc. and close to beach. Facilities in the apartment were of good quality and the place was clean and neat. An excellent experience.

Grant and Paula are a lovely couple who provided a pleasureful holiday experience for our family. They are great and prompt communicators. The apartment was clean and the garden was particularly attractive-lush and green, relaxing and tranquil. The family loved spending most of the time there.
Grant and Paula provided fresh eggs and fruit.
The apartment is outside of the central part of Terrigal.
Would be happy to stay here again.

We had a 2 nights stay at the apartment and had a lovely time. So much so that our 17 month old toddler didn't want to leave! Grant and Paula are friendly hosts and we really hope to make it back one day.

Grant and Paula were awesome! They were easy to communicate with both ahead of time as well as during our stay, they left us fresh fruit and eggs from their chickens and let us use herbs and veggies from their garden. Along with their hospitality, the place was spacious and had everything we needed. The kitchen was a bit basic, but who needs a fancy kitchen when you have such a nice grill! The location was also great, a quick drive to both Terrigal beach and North Avoca. My husband and I would love to go back anytime!

Reviews From Hosts

Grant & Paula are experienced B&B hosts and their warmth and experience shined through. They were really lovely and we would not hesitate to accept them as guests again, nor to stay with them if we were ever up their way! We didn't get a lot of time to chat but they had some amazing diving stories and aspirations in the short while we had.
Clean, tidy, courteous and friendly - excellent guests!

It was a great pleasure to have Grant & Paula as guests in our home. They were wonderful guests, very easy-going and friendly. Respect our home. We enjoyed wonderful conversations, very friendly , considerate, and mindful. Thanks for staying with us. Enjoy your holiday in Phillipine. Please keep in touch. Best wishes Vinh & Stuart

I have known Grant and Paula for some 15 years ,and met them through the local SCUBA fraternity,and consider them close friends.
I can vouch for the intergrity of both Grant and Paula in any enterprise they undertake,and they have a vast experience in the Bed and Breakfast business and both are well thought of in the Central Coast community.
I have no hesitation in recommending them to intending clients.

I've known Grant and his wife for about twelve years and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend their ability to act as hosts in their latest endeavour. They are both personable people and packed with their knowledge of the area their guests would definitely be winners as they really care about their local area and would only be to willing to pass on any information to visitors.
My husband and I have done numerous trips with them both and in fact we are keen to do another trip later this year to swim with some whales in Tonga. They are great organisers and really are perfectionists in detail and good fun to be around!
